Hi mums, I had a very bad weekend.
Emerson's fever was up and down and on Sun, he got rashes over his torso area and his legs. I was very worred and rushed him to KKH children's emergency.
At there, the doc confirm the rash was due to his fever and there was no cause for alarm.But they did a blood test for him and find out that one of his component is really low and he needs to be admitted to be put on drip since he hasnt drink anything since Thurs n there's risk of dehydration.
Before that, I was making a scene there already. Coz I had waited for vvvv long..for a whole 3-4hours and E was just not consolable! I understand the long Q and such but it was just a matter of throwing temper..and is extremely pissed with the nurses and doc there... until the senior consultant have to come and cool me down.
Haha. I'm very wilful one.
I was so heartache when they did the blood test and was just down there sobbing with Emerson. He cried til... i dunno like what. Before that I already had a long and tiring day, coz he was fussy and lethargic..and I hd guest at my place too. Had to walk him up and down here and there.. Very very tired.
The docs make us decide whether to want to admit E or not...but I said no, she tried v hard in vain to explain to us the consequences but I was just too pissed and dissapointed with their service. I thought E will be suffering if he will to be admitted..since they said his immue is really low, if he were to be admitted will he catch other viruses from patients there? Foreign environment and with a drip on, I think it b super hard on him. I was really at wits end and in a lost, coz I do not know if "protecting" him in this manner will cause him more harm. At last, they made me sign a letter of indemnity to say they are not responsible for anything if i insist of discharging.
Went home ard 2+am. E is still fussing and crying and crying!!!! and he finally slept at 4am til 8.30am. I didnt wink my eye at all... I decided to get a second opinion on admitting him. So I called up friends and relative to recommend me a PD in Gleneagles. So I went to this Dr Catherine Lam.
She explained that the viral infection virus had attack Emerson and suppressing his bone marrow from producing white blood cells. Thus the results of the blood test... plus he hasnt been drinking. She did not suggest him being admitted for the same ting I feared. So she gave me some appetite booster, wind drops and a phlegm syrup for E.. and ask me to stay away from crowds and isolate E til next week.
E's appetite is better now and is drinking, though haven fully recovered... but it beats sticking needles thru him. I really hate to see him suffer like that.., I wish i could be the one to sick instead of him.
